For the video the .vcs file to be played you need to upload the video file (.vcs), the videoclipstream.zip, a buttonset graphic and a web page that has a custom applet embedded into it that refers to these files.

Playerless Hosting
Clipstream™ Video is said to be playerless because all of the resources needed are located on the server.

Under the default settings for Clipstream™ Video when a viewer visits the page with browser the applet will detect the viewer's connection speed and start streaming a defined .vcs file that matches the viewer's detection speed. If there are any optional parameters in the applet code, it will deliver the video differently (for example: autoplay, autoloop, etc.).

How the video is played and what resources will be used is governed by a set of instructions in a code called an Applet. An Applet is Java code that runs in your browser that can launch a separate program. As a developer, by editing the code, you can change which video is played and how it is played.

The engine for Clipstream™ Video is the videoclipstream.zip. This is a compressed file that contains several Java classes. This is a mini-program (latest build: 48k) that plays the video .vcs files.

The standard interface for the Clipstream™ Video is a .gif or .jpg file that contains various buttonstates.
